Re: C00D1197 - Wasting my time?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Can you see the CD drive at all in "My Computer" ? If not, it's likely
some CD writing software has screwed with your CD device, inserting
some broken "filters" between the hardware interface and what Windows
sees (for more information on this scenario :

Chris Lanier has some general information on this error on his site :

The important text here is under Cause : "Third-party applications
that can play audio CDs may change specific registry keys. These types
of changes can prevent Windows Media Player from playing audio CDs.
When you remove these third-party programs, the registry key is not
restored to its original setting."

Hi all. I know loads of people have asked, and Microsoft either dont
know or dont care what the problem is, but this is something my PC has
been afflicted with. Of course I have no idea when it happened but have
found out in the last few days.

Neither Windows Media Player (v10), Winamp or ITunes will play my audio
cd's. Of course when I try to play them in Windows Media Player I get
the ambiguous C00D1197 error saying it cant play the file, giving me
clues about network files, typed paths and servers being unavailable.

However, nothing so technical I'm afraid. One computer, with one NEC
ND-3540A dvd-rw drive.

I have a 2.8ghz intel processor with 1gb of ram and more hard disk
space than I can shake a stick at. I am xp sp2 and am fully patched
(I've just checked)

I have tried most things including looking at network protocols,
re-registering wmnetmgr.dll, removing cdaudio from the registry and
removing WMP and installing WMP9 and coming back up to WMP10 again, but
nothing has worked. If anyone knows why this does this, perhaps you
could shed some light on what seems to be a really annoying error? I
really am quite prepared to try anything.
